Community members work together to mobilize construction materials and create a food bank, community fields, a meeting hall, a rural bank, a clean water source, public latrines and, where they don’t already exist, a health center, food processing units and classrooms. The epicenter quickly becomes a vibrant center of community action and a strong symbol for positive change. Ndioum epicenter serves 12 villages with a total population of 20563 women, men and children in the Saint-Louis département of Senegal. "," The Hunger Project promotes a holistic approach to food security, and many of its activities contribute to increased access to sufficient food but also improved diets, greater nutritional variety and stronger ties to local resources. For example, epicenter preschools provide hot, nutritious meals to students and epicenter rural banks offer loans and savings products that often increase the amount and quality of food at the household level. Most importantly, THP trains animators, who, with support from existing local and government institutions (farmers’ cooperatives, agricultural extension workers) hold trainings in farming technologies (row planting, field rotation), seed and soil types, and low-input yield-improving techniques (organic compost, microdose fertilizer application). The trainings take place at the epicenter demonstration farm, where crops are grown for consumption by the community and distribution to local school meal programs. "," Additionally, THP implements an Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund. Through this fund, participating local farmers access seed and fertilizer loans at the start of the planting season. These loans are repaid post-harvest through in-kind reimbursement of bags of grain. This grain can then be sold at a fair price to the community over the lean season, not only improving food security but also re-capitalizing the loan fund for future lending.
Lastly, THP works with each community to construct a secure and treated community food bank, which can store the harvest from the demonstration farm, reimbursements from the Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund, and even individual harvests for safe-keeping. The food bank is managed by a local Food Security Committee, which oversees the operations of the entire program; each committee is made up of equal numbers of men and women and is democratically elected by the epicenter populations.

The Hunger Project,THP-GH-00-1128,,foodsecurity_site,Ankoma Epicenter,"Throughout Africa, The Hunger Project’s Epicenter Strategy mobilizes the population of a cluster of villages within a 10km radius to create an “epicenter,” or a center from which community-led development emanates to the surrounding areas. Through this fully integrated development strategy, community members establish and manage their own programs to address food security, nutrition, health, education, microfinance, water and sanitation. Epicenters follow four distinct phases over a period of about five to eight years on a path toward to sustainable self-reliance.
Ankoma Epicenter is currently in Phase 3, during which the epicenter community shores up the progress that it has made since its inception, while beginning to plan for a transition to self-reliance. Trainings are led by community-based animators, and epicenter committees manage each program, including budget oversight and leadership transitions. The epicenter strengthens its partnerships, including solidifying and creating an even more powerful partnership with local government. Ankoma epicenter serves 6 villages with a total population of 7181 women, men and children in the Kwahu East district of Ghana."," The Hunger Project promotes a holistic approach to food security, and many of its activities contribute to increased access to sufficient food but also improved diets, greater nutritional variety and stronger ties to local resources. For example, epicenter preschools provide hot, nutritious meals to students and epicenter rural banks offer loans and savings products that often increase the amount and quality of food at the household level. Most importantly, THP trains animators, who, with support from existing local and government institutions (farmers’ cooperatives, agricultural extension workers) hold trainings in farming technologies (row planting, field rotation), seed and soil types, and low-input yield-improving techniques (organic compost, microdose fertilizer application). The trainings take place at the epicenter demonstration farm, where crops are grown for consumption by the community and distribution to local school meal programs. "," Additionally, THP implements an Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund. Through this fund, participating local farmers access seed and fertilizer loans at the start of the planting season. These loans are repaid post-harvest through in-kind reimbursement of bags of grain. This grain can then be sold at a fair price to the community over the lean season, not only improving food security but also re-capitalizing the loan fund for future lending.

The three main project objectives include: (a) Improve the quality/standards of education; (b) Improved livelihoods and/alternative livelihoods; and (c) Improve accessibility to clean and safe water and hygiene.
","Some of the key project activities are:
1) Training leaders on the right of children to education; 2) Carry out health and hygiene education in communities; 3) Install rainwater harvesting systems in the communities; 4) Establish active accumulated savings and credit associations to provide loans for business capital; 5) Conduct business/entrepreneurship trainings among women to expand their knowledge in business; 6) Commercialize agricultural ventures that would yield traditional food crops; and 7) Facilitate the management and supervision by rural communities of their own transformative community.","World Concern and the Nehemiah project communities constructed class rooms for education and provided sheep, wells, seeds and rain water catchment systems.",2003-03-01,2020-06-30,Agriculture|Disaster Prevention and Preparedness|Economic Recovery and Development|Education|Water Sanitation and Hygiene,"Disaster risk reduction (DRR), Environment, Gender",,USD,2003-03-01,"","",,1550.0,,individuals,Maasai community members ,specific_locations,Kenya>Narok,Nick Archer,Senior Director Program Development,nicka@worldconcern.org,"","",2011-06-22,2018-10-09,active,Private donations,false
Freedom from Hunger,FFH-ZA-89-2068,"","",Credit with Education,"Credit with Education is a methodology for group-based poverty lending integrated with simple, relevant, high-impact learning in better business management, health, and family financial management. This model builds on the village banking methodology by integrating financial services and dialogue-based adult education typically using the same field agent to deliver both services.
Freedom from Hunger’s method of implementing village banking depends on active participation by the clients. Members are expected to manage the individual and group accounting functions, the assessment and determination of loan applications, the meeting procedures, and the solution/decision-making for problems and issues that arise in the normal functioning of their village banks. Field agents are specifically trained to facilitate the process. The education, or learning session, is delivered in a 20-30-minute segment in the course of each regular village bank meeting. The field agent facilitates the session using the same skills necessary for establishing clients’ self-management of their group. For this reason, the preparation of the field agent to serve as the facilitator of the education only requires additional training on the content of the sessions.
The content for these learning sessions is available from Freedom from Hunger, thereby eliminating the need for institutions to invest in costly development of their own materials. Because a single field agent delivers both the education and financial services, the marginal costs of providing the education are low. Because the education sessions are kept short, the field agents are able to attend to the same number of groups as field agents not offering education.
Institutions may also choose to offer education through staff dedicated specifically to this purpose. Although this is a higher cost strategy, it still takes advantage of the groups’ regular meetings and allows for the specialization of staff.","Over the past two decades, Freedom from Hunger has developed training and technical assistance packages to support organizations in implementing Credit with Education. These packages are designed for two types of institutions:

Institutions with experience in individual lending that wish to begin a group-based lending product with education.
Freedom from Hunger currently offers workshops on the following topics:

Integration and implementation of education

Supervision of integrated Credit with Education programs

Training of trainers in education module content

Design of Credit with Education product

Credit with Education Loan Officer training

Evaluation of outcomes
","Freedom from Hunger currently has offices in Burkina Faso, Ecuador, India, Mali, Mexico, Peru and Davis, California. We often work with national or international networks to convene groups of institutions for training. We also can train networks to support their members in the implementation of Credit with Education.

Freedom from Hunger,FFH-KH-05-2069,"","",Saving for Change,"Saving for Change is a methodology for self-managed saving and lending groups integrated with simple, relevant, high-impact training in health, business and money management. Saving for Change brings basic financial services to areas that are typically beyond the reach of microfinance institutions and, in doing so, creates sustainable, cohesive groups that tackle social issues facing their members and their communities. Saving for Change was jointly developed by Freedom from Hunger, Oxfam America and Strømme Foundation.
Self-selecting groups of approximately 20 women come together and, over several weeks, make decisions about the management of their savings groups, with guidance from a trained field agent. The members elect a management committee and make decisions within a framework provided by the program, including their group name, social objective, savings amount, lending policies, cycle length, fines for infractions, etc. The field agent also trains the group on how to manage their meetings. Members save a set amount at every meeting, and periodically borrow from their pooled savings to meet their investment or consumption needs. Loans are repaid with interest, allowing the group fund to grow more quickly. Funds are only accessed during meetings in the presence of all members, and are kept in a locked cashbox between meetings. Savings meetings can last as little as 15 minutes, while saving and lending meetings can last up to an hour. Annually, members divide the group fund in proportion to their savings contribution, take stock of their achievements, and decide what changes to make as they begin a new cycle.
In order for groups to manage meetings autonomously, without field agent oversight, the group record-keeping system for Saving for Change is adapted to the literacy and numeracy level of group members. In West Africa, an entirely memory-based system allows all members to validate transactions transparently. In Latin America, written records allow more flexible savings deposits and more complex lending policies.
Group meetings also allow for discussion of group and community issues, and for education sessions. The field agent facilitates a 30-minute learning session during some group meetings, using the same skills necessary for establishing the members’ self-management of their group. For this reason, the preparation of the field agent to provide education only requires additional training on the content of the sessions. The content for these learning sessions is available from Freedom from Hunger, which eliminates the need for institutions to invest in costly development of their own materials. The same field agent who monitors the group’s activities can deliver learning sessions, keeping marginal costs low, or a dedicated staff may do so, allowing for greater specialization but increasing delivery costs.","Freedom from Hunger supports organizations worldwide in implementing Saving for Change by offering training workshops and support services in the following areas:

Implementation planning

Formation of savings groups

Replication of savings groups

Training of trainers in education module content

Supervision of savings groups and education services

Installation of a management information system
In addition, Freedom from Hunger supports institutions that implement other types of savings group programming in integrating education services. ","In many parts of the world, the very poor and particularly those living in isolated, rural areas have limited access to formal financial services. Rather than offer financial services, institutions that implement Saving for Change promote self-managed financial services. A wide range of nongovernmental organizations with experience in community development, health, literacy or agriculture can help the populations they serve access basic saving and lending services, without needing the systems and processes of financial service institutions. Furthermore, Saving for Change groups who meet regularly can become focal points for other development interventions, provided by the same or other institutions.",2005-01-01,2019-12-31,Economic Recovery and Development|Education,"Livelihoods, Gender, Microfinance",,USD,2005-01-01,Oxfam America|Emergency Relief & Development Overseas (ERDO)|Tostan International,FDS Kenieba|Conseils et Appui pour l'Éducation à la Base (CAEB)|Association GRAFE|Groupe de Recherches et d'Applications Techniques (GRAT)|Jeunesse et Développement|STOP-SAHEL|Le Tonus|Comité Régional de Solidarité des Femmes pour la Paix en Casamance (USOFORAL)|Office de Developpement des Eglises Evangeliques (ODE)|SEMUS|Bureau des Projets de Développement et des Oeuvres Sociales (BUPDOS)|Asociacion Dignidad|Gforce|Graadecom|APHEDD|Federation des Associations de Developpement Communautaire (FADEC),,719004.0,,individuals,"Women, food insecure families",specific_locations,Burkina Faso|Benin|Brazil|Colombia|Mali|Mexico|Niger|Peru|Guatemala|Honduras|Cambodia|Senegal|El Salvador,Jessie Tientcheu,"Deputy, Programs",jtientcheu@freedomfromhunger.org,"",http://www.freedomfromhunger.org/programs/saving.php,2011-07-01,2017-08-29,active,Charities Aid|Stromme Foundation|Weberg Foundation|Weberg Foundation|Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation|United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)|Episcopal Relief & Development,false

Today the program continues to serve marginalized communities across Africa using light aircraft, commercial flights and road transport to visit more than 155 hospitals across Africa and provide remote communities with essential surgical services. Surgical specialists available for visits represent a wide range of areas of expertise including general surgeons, gynecologists, reconstructive surgeons, urologists, and ophthalmologists. The Clinical & Surgical Outreach Program manages outreach visits through five inter-related projects including VVF/Safe Motherhood Outreach that targets women with vesico-vaginal fistulas and the Reconstructive Surgery project which targets children and adults living with cleft lip and palate. Last year in 2013, over 5,000 operations were performed and over 21,000 patients received consultations. ","Through the Clinical & Surgical Outreach Program, Amref Health Africa:
1. Provides reconstructive surgical procedures free-of-charge at hospitals, health facilities, and surgical camps for patients living in remote communities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa
2. Provides formal, classroom-based training and informal, on-the-job training to local doctors to build their capacity to be able to perform the surgical procedures
3. Provides formal and informal training to local nurses, clinical officers, laboratory staff, and other support staff in pre-operative care, post-operative care, and preventative care to prevent many health issues that require surgery from the outset

These loans are repaid post-harvest through in-kind reimbursement of bags of grain. This grain can then be sold at a fair price to the community over the lean season, not only improving food security but also re-capitalizing the loan fund for future lending.
Lastly, THP works with each community to construct a secure and treated community food bank, which can store the harvest from the demonstration farm, reimbursements from the Agriculture Revolving Loan Fund, and even individual harvests for safe-keeping.

The SDG Union Strategy is a demand-driven social development process in which communities move through phases of development at their own pace, self-directing and engaging in community priorities of their own choosing. The work proceeds through four phases: (i) Mobilization, (ii) Capacity Building, (iii) Taking action, and (iv) Assessing results. An SDG Union is a cluster of nine Bangladeshi villages that through partnership with THP has committed to achieving the SDGs at the local level. The SDGs will be achieved through increased engagement of active and informed citizens, enhanced democratic processes, and improved access to resources.
